I think it will be Younis Khan.... then maybe Shoaib Malik....

Akhtar has max 4 left in him, and he too much injure prone...

Moyo.. he has tried, wasnt that good, he is like Inzi.. not that much proactive.

I hope MoYo is our Next captain, or Akhtar!

Malik should be groomed as a future captain.

YK will lead after the WC, me thinks.

yk will be the next captain, and InshaAllah will be a good one. he is aggressive as he has shown in the few matches he has lead the side, and looks to coomunicate well with the players. the only guy since imran khan who has captain written all over him. and the only time in pak history that its almost certain who will get the captaincy which would make the transition very smooth i hope.

no doubt YK will be the captain otherwise it was pointless to remove MOYO from vice captaincy

:19: is younis khan going to be our next captain?
He's the best out of a bad bunch.

Any other era, Younis, Yousaf and even Inzie wouldn't have even been considered.

Younis has to be the captain, he just has this aggressive, motivational and winning attitude to him, that I think it would have a wonderful effect on our team. I just hope that after Inxi goes that the team still continue to pray and stick together like they are know.

I just get the feeling with Younis Khan, he might not get the same respect as Inzi....remember in West Indies (Younis Khan vs Afridi)

For Vice-Captain, why not give it to someone like Malik, who captains for Sialkot I think.

things change when you become the fulltime captain instead of just filling in for a guy who's injured. people think Afridi is a hothead etc. he is actually quite smart. he's always gotten along with the powers that be. when Younis becomes captain, Afridi (if he's still in the team) will behave himself.

for me, post-Inzi Younis for skipper and ma boy Malik for deputy.

I think that younis khan will be the captain he can lead with batting and fielding.

but in the future i hope someone like asif or someone is groohed because he can win a match on his own.

and what has that got to do with this thread?

This is a perfectly legit discussion about our next captain. If it is totally meaningless to you then nobody is forcing you to post here.

We all know that YK will inshallah be the next captain...

and one plus one IS two

What, say the era where you'd be harded pressed to find a member of the team who hadnt been captain?

Inzi isnt a conventional captain but his man management skills are probably the best we've had in a captain since Imran (although that isnt saying much), and Younis is technically very sharp

Younis is technically very sharp

is he really? I know that he is far livelier in the field compared to Inzy, but this leads to the false perception that he is tactically adept. After all, Inzy isn't the best standard to judge against.

Younis is technically very sharp

I'm not convinced though I've seen many people suggest that.

if he so sharp, why doesn't he talk to Inzi and give him more input on how to set the fields, who to bring on, etc? Inzi is clearly not strong tactically and Younis often stands next to him in the slips when Inzi practically falls asleep.

so, either Younis isn't the tactical genius that people expect him to be or Inzi doesn't like listening to suggestions from his vice captain which means he isn't the man manager people think he is.

I suppose its possibly the latter, which does go agaisnt what people think of Inzi, but every seems to lift their spirits when Younis in in charge rather than Inzi

It is a relative thing but apart from Wasim hed be our best in the last 15 years or so in that sense

i would like to see Afridi as our Captain in the ODI's , perhaps have 2 captains , i dont mind that .

But Afridi definitely will take us to a new level, if was to captain .

Come to think of it, He is the Most senior cricketer After inzi currently in the team .

I say next captain should be Saqlain Mushtaq, or maybe bring back Moin Khan, he's still playing well. How about we just go against the form guide and go for someone young like Imran Farhat, it might help us solve our opening problem.

On a serious note, Younis Khan is the logical solution (although logic sometimes doesn't work well with PCB). They have tried to groom him into the position by giving him short spells as captain during games, which has worked well. It should be a smooth transition in my view. But I think we need to be vary to not expect everything from Younis, because in the end he has got his apprenticeship from the big man Inzy himself.

Mine was more realistic , but a shame, none of our Selectors have enough b**** to make such a bold decision , which will benefit Pakistan cricket immensely.

27th September 2006, 04:04

Younis for captain provided he can cement his place in the ODI sqaud

Malik for VC!!

Yeah and thank god you aren't on the selection panel...You'd be setting pakistani cricket back a 100 years with your ideas ;-) ....

Cavin for the love of God man you think Afridi is a good choice? Please explain to me how? What do you think is the job of the captain? Afridi is a great slogger no arguments there but for someone who cannot change his game according to the situation isn't it a little too much to ask to captain the side. Afridi is no tactician. Nothing to do with kahonas. There is a fine line between being brave and stupid.
We need Aggression in this very very Dull team at the moment, someone needs to fire them up, Afridi is the right man for the job, not only can he keep every one on their toes but also can make some bold decisions, which to be quite honest, non of em in the current pak team, besides Shoaib Akhtar are capable of .

in short Afridi has the right attitude for the shorter version of the game,and he has been around longer than anyone else in the current team, surely must command respect from all the players, so i says why not ?

Aggression is good but the captain needs to have control. Afridi is more of a choatic type. Why do you think Younis is not aggressive. You dont need to try to heave everything out of the ground to be aggressive. A captain besides everything else needs to be calm, collected and stable. Waugh was aggressive so was Imran. Waugh was never a aggressive batsman neither was Imran. They were both players that played according to the situation. Afridi knows only one way. That does not work all the time. Captain needs to be a problem solver. You need to have options. If you know only one way then you will loose more often then not as the opposing team would know how would you react to a given situation. Afridi needs to learn to adapt his game first before he can even think about captaincy.
